While hiking in the tropical rainforest, the author encountered a sloth and couldn't help but ponder "why it smiles so sweetly." A few months later, he decided to sneak into the "Animal City" where the sloths were, and sincerely invited the sloth masters to have an in-depth conversation with the sloth masters.
This conversation is anything but simple. On the one hand, it is because sloths have limited understanding of certain behaviors of modern people and have difficulty communicating; on the other hand, it is because sloths inadvertently revealed the obscure "mindfulness practice" during their naps.
The author was deeply influenced by sloth masters and compiled his conversations with them into a book.
Reader comments
Thoughts after reading:
I smiled happily after reading the book. It was such a slow and slow book, so I decided to learn from a sloth, slow down, calm down, and be calm and not impatient.
I put down the book and picked up my phone and found that it only took more than an hour to finish reading this book. I couldn't help but blame myself for being too impatient. Suddenly I remembered what I just read in the book about stopping self-criticism and learning to care for yourself. I quickly thought in other directions: I finished reading it so quickly not because I was impatient, but because the book was too thin. Another thought popped up: How could I blame it for such a good book? I quickly looked for other ideas to cover this slightly negative thought. The bad thing was that I hadn't thought of it yet. It was only when I was worried that I realized that I was supposed to learn its slow and comfortable lifestyle, but why did I become eager, hurried, and confused in the process of learning it? Hahaha, I'd better be myself, so that I don't need to exert myself. Maybe I am already like a sloth, hahaha, the sloth smiles.
Interesting, I read it in one sitting, unlike a sloth~
It's beautiful. While learning the behavior of sloths, I gradually understood the romantic freedom of slowness, which allowed me to re-understand how to breathe and how to live. Don't be afraid of worldly opinions and live at your own pace. Lazy practice is beneficial to people both physically and psychologically. I don't want to be a busy mouse every day, I want to be a sloth reading leisurely on the subway with few people. Breathing is my pursuit of life dreams.
The writing style of this book is fun and as easy as chatting with a friend. The author explores profound topics such as self-care and mindfulness practices through conversations with sloths. The writing is concise and crisp, and the illustrations are cute. I especially like the sloths in the book. Although they are slow, they can always bring some unexpected revelations to people. This is a great book for easy reading and inspiration.
Teach people to live in the present moment and not get caught up in emotional anxieties.
1 Hour, not slothful, but so what
In those anxious moments, learn to be slothful. Things will definitely work out in unexpected ways.
Yes, slow down and immerse yourself in everything. Even small things such as brushing your teeth, cleaning, and washing clothes are a lazy practice as long as you devote yourself to them. Spend time on the people and things that are important to you. Don't fill your schedule every day. Give yourself some time to relax after each task and leave some space in your life.
The humorous lazy Zen way, straightforward and clear, inspired me, and I recommend everyone to read it.
Although I read it in one sitting, it was actually much slower than my usual reading speed. I smiled and felt comfortable throughout the whole process. It is very suitable for modern people to cultivate their minds!
